¶Lyrics / Text

Brmm, brmm, brmm, Lazily twirls her wheel, Brmm, brmm, brmm, The flax scarce leaves the reel, Will the day ne'er end And the sun descend, Nor the evening shade Steal up the glade? Will he glad my sight, Will he come tonight? Doubtfully drones her wheel. Brmm, brmm, brmm, Merrily goes her wheel. Weave, weave, weave, The flax glides from the reel. The twilight's here And the moment near When my love will wait At the dark'ning gate, But tonight, in play I'll not glance that way. She'll not glance that way. Joyfully hums her wheel. Brmm, brmm, brmm, Solemnly purrs her wheel; Vain, vain, vain, No flax is on the reel. Doth he wait at the darkening gate? No, no, he softly treads O'er the flow'ry beds, And the pleas'd surprise On her sweet lip dies How? who knows? Modestly dumb's her wheel.
